In today's MMQB, Peter King discloses a conversation he had with Cam Newton when King visited Panthers camp last week.

He got right to the point. He said most of the people close to him wanted him to never speak to me again. Ignore me. I was one of the haters, so don’t deal with me; just deal with the media who were either fair—in their minds—or consistently supportive. “But I am my own person,’’ he said. “I think for myself. I make my own decisions. I decided I wanted to talk to you to see if we could work this out. I don’t want to walk the other way every time I see you. That’s not what a man does.”

 

 

and read this...

 

 

But in the end, I feel bad that he was branded with those comments because his three years as a player has proven him to be, after some missteps at post-game podiums following losses, a good person and leader.

 

Yes, that is Peter King complimenting Cam Newton. Although, why add the "after some missteps at post-game podiums following losses". Couldn't he have said...

Guess he couldn't be that nice.

Haha! Well, he was kind of being honest tho. Cam was pretty bad with his attitude after loses. No matter how mad or frustrated you are, as an NFL player, you cant react that way. The media is looking for a reason to throw you under the bus. Cam has learned that now. So King was accurate in saying that. But you are right, he could have just not mentioned it. Lol!

Good of Cam to drop the grudge. He can play nice and us fans can carry the grudge for him.

Peter King may be "respected" but the entertainer and icon was a cheap shot if there ever was one, designed for clicks and not substance

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
